I take it the subject is the beauty of the land, Dan. What's your reaction to the mages? In a week or so I'll be taking off for a camping trip the full length of the Blue Ridge Parkway. I'll be taking my camera(s). I imagine there'll be lots of photographs. I imagine the subject will be the landscape, allowing for elements of human intervention. I don't know if there will be any people. My own NSH take is that America would be not just a more beautiful place but a better place if we paid more attention to/had more respect for the landscape. I have always admired Frank Lloyd Wright.

We have nearly wrecked the American landscape with design that has no respect for it. Forgive me for going OT.
